Congrats again, Jean! I love the cover and the cover blurb.
My copy is on its way here.
Heatherfield (Book) - 8/30/2008 2:47:10 PM
Jean, I finished Heatherfield last night; each beautifully crafted sentence kept me in suspense right up to the last page. Tory and Jake were compelling, believable characters and the paranormal twist made their relationship especially appealing to me. "Bravo" for your captivating love story. I only wish it didn't have to end. Donelle

Jean,
I definitely need to read this. I look forward to it.

Heatherfield (Book) - 2/14/2008 12:04:01 PM
Jean Pike has created an outstanding novel with Heatherfield.
She takes the reader back to New York State in the 1940s and does it convincingly, something not every author can do. And she deftly combines a love story with the paranormal in a way that makes it totally believable.
The reader can’t help but love the central characters. I would like to say more about the story itself; but it wouldn’t be fair to future readers who need to experience this intricate plot and group of complex characters for themselves. The ending will literally give you goose bumps.
I thought Heatherfield was an absolute joy to read.

Congratulations on Heatherfield, Jean. Everything I see about it would make it a truly entertaining, astonishing story to read, and I intend to, especially knowing the talent it comes from...Jerry
Waiting for the Rain (Book) - 1/15/2008 6:54:52 PM
Reading WAITING FOR THE RAIN, I was transformed into a story that was enticing with its mysteries, heart warming in the beautiful love affair that ended so tragically, and then the icing on the cake with the paranormal twist to the story. This book is a true treasure from a natural storyteller. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in M. Jean Pike's world she created. Liz
Waiting for the Rain (Book) - 10/14/2007 1:07:52 PM
Romance novelist, Jean Pike, has nailed it with her heartwarming WAITING FOR THE RAIN. When twenty-eight year old Willow Mackenzie is diagnosed with a brain tumor her life tumbles into an abyss and more shattering news follows as her husband, Tom reveals he wants a divorce. Unwilling to tell Tom about her impending death, she keeps the secret from him and allows him to continue with divorce proceedings. Trying to get her life in order, she finds herself in Baker's Gulley, an off the beaten path whose terrain is known for the elusive eagle, an eagle she desperately wants to capture on film. Due to a flat tire, she begins walking. From out of nowhere, a small cottage, overgrown with roses pulls her into the captivating scene. She knows it will be the perfect place to live to wait out her impending death. Then again, she didn't intend for Darby Sullivan, a war hero to enter her life. Who is Darby Sullivan and why does the land around the cottage appear to be so perfectly beautiful while the surrounding area is drab and lifeless? Does Darby hold the key to the fountain of youth and will he be able to save Willow from dying? Perfect, tender love captivates Willow (Willy) and Darby in a love story so remarkable, you will have to read the book to understand Darby's fear of growing old and Willow's recovery. This love story will pull you into the depths of an unselfish, heartbreaking love story so complete, you won't be able to put down this compelling drama, WAITING FOR THE RAIN. Two thumbs up for Jean Pike. Well done.
Waiting for the Rain (Book) - 8/5/2007 5:08:50 PM
In this age of fast-moving car crashes and female ninjas from the planet Xanthrou, it’s not often that I find a movie or book that touches me, makes me cry, but Jean Pike’s work never fails. Short story or novel, ‘normal’ or paranormal, she always weaves a story that draws me in and holds me until I read the last page.
Waiting for the Rain is a beautiful story and though I bought an ebook copy, I can’t wait until it’s out in print so I can place it on my shelf along with my other favorites. A beautiful story, one I’ll read again and again
Waiting for the Rain (Book) - 8/2/2007 10:04:14 PM
Being in the South is really like being within a world of itself.
There is obviously so much there and certainly not enough writers who can convey that dynamic and full range of emotions, lifestyles, and character traits which always seem so revelatory and surprising.
which is what this story might be trying to accomplish. Each time I read about the South or Southern characters, I always ask, "Are these people for real?" I just can't believe that some people still talk, think, and act within the manner that they do. Well, love is the connection that unites all people - I always perceive the want or longing and "hankering" or now perhaps even stereotype and cliche for certain traits of the characters - that is, "the muscular physique, the strength of his hands, etc ..."
What's important and what I usually acquire from Southern love stories or stories set within the South is the knowledge and information about the characters' lifestyles, mores, and abilities, i.e. "fixing the truck, offering the $20 dollars, etc ..." I know that if not most people, then especially Southerners, have been predicating themselves upon "acquaintance" i.e. getting to know each other for compatibiity to include each other's past, history, background, feelings, pains, etc ... Normally things that I would only reveal if already acquainted with a person for some time. Or maybe like the stranger in town, things that I would never reveal to anyone. I know that these characters by M. Jean Pike will further develop according to that dramatic standard where they realize some flaw about themselves, try to change, and then become better people.
Waiting for the Rain (Book) - 8/1/2007 2:13:05 AM
Jean Pike is an exceptional writer that is never satisfied with less than perfection in her work. Few people have the uncanny ability to touch the emotions of their reader like Pike does, and in her new novel, ”Waiting for The Rain” she does it again. Her characters are real and she makes it impossible not to get involved with their story. It’s a love story that survives this world and the next. Although I usually like everything she writes, I do think that “Waiting for the Rain is her best work so far.
Waiting for the Rain (Book) - 7/31/2007 8:05:36 PM
Sounds like a winner to me...anxiously awaiting the paperback!

Waiting for the Rain (Book) - 7/31/2007 3:24:49 PM
If you're looking for something fresh, unique and extremely well written, then don't hesitate to get your copy of "Waiting For The Rain". Not a typical genre romance, the characters are so real, you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat while you root for them to overcome the almost insurmountable obstacles in their path. I think I chewed everyone of my fingernails off while reading the last few chapters. Be sure to have your Kleenx handy, you'll need them. I experienced so many emotions while reading this beautiful story and cried like a baby when I finished it. Bravo, Jean, for a truly wonderful reading experience.
The Winds of Autumn (Book) - 5/25/2007 7:48:20 PM
Jean’s writing consumes the reader. Forget passive reading, you fall into Littlebrook feeling you’re a part of the action. Her characters come alive with emotions in so much you can feel your sentiments raise and fall with every peak and valley. You will feel compassion, fear, hatred, sadness, all of them at varying levels as the story reaches its ultimate climax. Recommended reading for one and all.
The Winds of Autumn (Book) - 4/1/2007 4:24:59 PM
Excellent job, Jean. The Winds of Autumn was a pleasure to read. The characters and setting are very believable, including the parnormal appearances. The plot is tight, fast moving; and kept me turning pages from the beginning all the way to a very satisfying conclusion. I ended it wanting to know more about Angel and Don and Littlebrook.
The Winds of Autumn (Book) - 3/17/2007 10:22:23 AM

The Winds of Autumn (Book) - 1/26/2007 12:11:20 PM
"The Winds of Autumn" is one of my most prized possessions. Not only is the cover art mysterious and beautiful, but the story itself is a wonderfully romantic page turner with enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat and the paranormal aspect is done to perfection. Add to that the fact that Ms. Pike is a truly talented and outstanding writer and you've got a true winner.
The Graveyard (Short Story) - 11/15/2009 6:29:25 PM
Noah said so much in this short piece! I think it's excellent. He sets the scene well, so that you can almost feel the fog over the tombstones. Grandfather and grandson seem to have an appointment that each of them is aware of, the grandson, drawn by those searching eyes, responding to the need to help his grandfather rest in peace. It ended too soon--would like to have read more!
Connie
The Graveyard (Short Story) - 11/10/2009 11:16:48 AM
Good to see you post a story, Jean, and welcome, Noah, with this wonderfully described eery piece with both mystique and moral. You have a good feel for drawing your reader in. I like the tie between what you are and what your ancestor was. I think many times that we are more closely tied to them than we know. Keep on writing--it may be you are genetically gifted and have much in common with an ancestor you live with..........Jerry

Beautiful story, beautiful message. Anytime I read someone story I have to be hooked right away and stay hooked or I just ship to another story. This is so well written and hel me captivated until the very end. This story would make great movie. Well done!
The Graveyard (Short Story) - 11/3/2009 7:38:33 PM
It is an incredibly strong word illustration that paints the graveyard on the inner eye in stunning detail; the old man standing on the tombstone with the narrator inching ever closer places the reader on the edge of their seat. Loved this…Hope he continues to write and explore his talents.
The Graveyard (Short Story) - 11/3/2009 7:09:33 PM

Jean. I recently read Dan Brown's newest novel on Secret Words and I felt it was better then his Da Vinci Code. Your "Box" short story is so well written it rivals Mr. Brown's story telling. I am already looking forward to YOUR next/first novel. Well done and Thank you.

Excellent write. Liz
Crossroads (Short Story) - 6/7/2009 11:16:11 AM
This is a moving piece touching on some stories that you hear about broken families, inspiring you to take a look at yourself and your own life. The past can never be erased, and we can never take back things said or done. But sometimes it isn't too late to make things right again. This was a great story that I may have to read again.

Crossroads (Short Story) - 4/9/2009 6:13:48 AM
Excellent story, Jean. If only more men would come to this conclusion in a world with so many fatherless children. Good analysis of the man in the way you show us how he grew up, too, and where his character flaws lie. Nobody grows up perfectly, but we can each do the best with what we are giving. I even like it that you used one of my own weak points for the story--yuck, I hate body piercings. I am relieved that I got to this story when I had almost overlooked that you had something else up......Jerry

Wonderful garden, Jean. I know you need the uplift after a school year, if you are anything at all like my wife, and now to have pneumonia on top of it, you need all of the outdoors for health that you can stand. Let a few weeds grow if means you get the extra rest.........Jerry
Nest Box Project (Article) - 6/27/2009 12:55:14 PM
I enjoyed your thoughts, your endeavors and your photos, Jean. That's a beautiful area you live in, and blue birds are such a great species to take care of, and help reinstate. (Your son is a good looking boy, too. Give him 50 years, a bald head, and a white beard, and he'll be perfect.) We put up some bluebird houses, too, only to have them occupied by European, or English, sparrows. More expert persons told me this can be corrected by putting the nesting boxes further from the house..........Jerry

Garden Spots (Article) - 6/17/2009 10:39:03 AM
I love those bleeding hearts, Jean! You should have seen my irises this year-- two years ago I dug them all up from the back yard and stuck them in the soil in the middle of my front lawn (just to save them, as we're doing massive remodling in my back lawn and garden area)... anyway, last year nothing popped up but a few poppies and some violets, but this year, they were all over with blooms-- their purple and white petals under my white lilac tree perfumed the whole neighborhood. My baby and I had to say good morning to them every day, and we're still doing so. Flowers are such sociable creatures, aren't they? They always greet you with a smile, whatever your mood. And it's good that they all come out at different times, otherwise, how on earth would we be able to get acquainted with them all? By the time these blooms pass on, you'll be regular pals :')) Tell them hello for me too (from their cousins in Idaho.)

Full House! (Article) - 5/1/2009 12:20:38 PM
Don't dispair, Jean. You're doing something that's good for the heart both spiritually and physically. I ran some wholesale greenhouses for a while--probably kept me from deteriorating any more than I have. I loved the business, but it was tough. I've tried to turn my attention more toward playing with trees. Last summer I rescued sections of catalpa roots and stems being ripped free from a foundation they were interfering with, and grew several in vinyl nursery buckets. I'lll be planting them this spring. Playing with plants is good for you........Jerry

Sounds like you have your work handled pretty well. I have the soil ready for tomatoes but, none planted, might wait another week. They are calling for another cold wave here on Monday, after that it just might be time to plant. I will spread coffee grounds that I saved all winter and turn that under, along with Epson salt, (Epson salt is an ingredient in Miracle Grow). I will also spread Pete moss all around the garden after planting to hold the moister and give the soil some more zip.

I'm sure many children in these situations can relate to this poem. Have felt so many times that they didn't belong anywhere and when and if they were placed in a home, the threat that it would all just disappear in a moment, was uppermost in their minds.

Off Your Back (Poetry) - 6/27/2009 6:48:32 PM
My, "Off Your Back" captured exactly how I felt in 1981 when the divorce was final that ended my 1st marriage. I even remember where I was. At the time, I worked two jobs. I taught English days and worked as a maitre d' in a nightclub nights. When midnight hit, I sat in my favorite booth in the closed dining room while music from the nightclub vibrated the floor and I sipped a glass of Grand Marnier (on the house).

Cloud (Poetry) - 2/9/2009 4:58:43 PM
Not to be loved, not to know you belong, not to be wanted is one of the most wicked evils of our world. It causes me deep sorrow to know that there are so many young persons that ache inside and out from the absence of love in their lives.
You have shared with us a powerfully moving insight. I believe we will all be better instruments of God by taking this message into our hearts.

Are you Gray Baldwin? This is an excellent write. I'll never forget the time I attended a youth workshop. The lecturer singled out one young man, and asked him "Who's your father?" I can't remember the point he was trying to make-- that everyone a strong relationship with the parents? Who knows. I just remember the silence that question caused, and the lecturer kept pushing, until finally someone said the young man didn't know. I learned later he'd been in various foster homes his whole life. It even today reminds me about the importance of family--whatever family we have--to not take it for granted, because there are those who never have known one. --Charlie

When it Rains (Poetry) - 9/20/2008 2:02:56 PM
Jean, it rained today and I saw your title and had to take a look. Very touching and beautifully written poem that brought back memories of when my father died, when my daughter was very ill, and other shadowy times in my life. Thank you for reminding us from Whom we gather strength. Donelle

Self doubt, let the rain take it away, don't come apart in the rain, let it wash you again and again, clean, hope and faith you do have and don't let the rain wash it away.
Dandelion (Poetry) - 6/2/2008 6:58:53 AM
I REALLY like your poems. My boys were like this as well at that age-as the world is a whole new place to them...everything is a wonder, a surprise and they want to share it all with you.
You truly captured the spirit of not only a 3 year old but of a mom! Well done!
